“Pulse is a journey that introduces you to the different types of people – their strengths and weaknesses, the highs and lows, the securities and insecurities – through the world of gaming."

Stream scene
"Garnering quite some international buzz, this local high-tech horror series looks to set your… pulse pounding. Shot in South Africa and Mauritius, this new series boasts a who’s who of local talent in front of and behind the scene, and looks especially intriguing if you’re a gamer – and hey, would you look at that! I am!"
- Huisgenoot
Pulse
"Pulse is uniek op soveel maniere," het Tarryn [Wyngaard] al vertel. "Stephen Clarke se draaiboek was so ongelooflik onvoorspelbaar en soos niks wat ek al ooit voorheen gelees het nie."
